pretty bad wreck of the sleigh, but doing other

Mr.. Henry Long, one of the defenders of 1872
is living at Jarrettsvle, and will be 90 years old
in March next. He was wounded in the leg dur
ing that conflict, which made him a cripple, and
about three years ago he fell on the ice, causing
o disocation of the hip, since which time he has
not left the house. His health is good and his
eyesight excellent, and most of his time is now
spent in reading and smoking, both of which he
is passionately fond of.
The fourth quarterly meeting of West Hartford
Circuit was held at Jarrettsville on Sunday and
Monday, January 9th and 10th. The presiding
elder, Rev. W. F. Speake, was present and preach
ed two very interesting sermons, which were at
tentively listened to. After the services on Mon
day. tho financial business of the circuit trans

cerned. During the past year about 175 CONVEX
sions have occurred, which is very gratifying ex-
hibit. AS the term of the senior pastor will ex-
pire in March, he of will be sent to another
appointment, but as the junior pastor is serving

Harford,s New Railroad Proiact.-Th

Harford's New Railroad Project.-The
gentlemen interested in the projected Deer Creek
and Susquehanna Railroad held q meeting at
Belair on Tuesday. A preliminary survey was
made on Monday by an engineer of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad of one of the routes proposed,
which is from the large paper mills on the Sus-
quehanna river, near Conowingo, by way Of OAR
lington, Deer Creek, Tobacco Run, Churchville
and Church Creek to point between Perryman's
and Aberdeen. The engineer thought this route
feasible, although some of the grades are very
heavy. Another route suggested is from the pa
per mills by way Of Darlington and Deer Creek
to Cooksville thence by way of Level, Millbrook
and Swan Creek to point near Aberdeen. A
Branch is also proposed from near Chenille, or
from Churchville to Belair. The entire length of
road, including the Belair branch, would be about
81 miles. The books of subscription being open
ed, $2O,500 was subscribed. The proposed rail-
road will penetrate one Of the most picturesque,
attractive fertile and enterprising sections of
Maryland, which is now destitute of railroad ia
cilities

Arlington, Sd District. "A very sad accident,
which resulted in the death of Mrs. Caroline M.
Arden, occurred at. this place on last Saturday
night. Mrs. Arden sat down to do some sewing
at about $50 O'Clock in the evening. The rocking
chair which she occupied was Immediately under
hanging lamp, and it is thought that its motion
must have caused the chain which fastened the
lamp to break. 1t fell and exploded and the
burning oil saturated the unfortunate lady's
clothing. Terrified, she rushed out of the house.
Her husband tried to extingush the flames by
wrapping rugs and his coat aroud her. He finally
succeeded with the aid of the snow, but she was
SO terribly burned and her sufferings so in
tense that she died at about o'clock on Sunday
morning. She was conscious almost to the end.
She left three little children. Mrs. Arden was
about 80 years of age and was considered very at
tractive. Mr.. Arden's hands were badly burned
in his efforts to save his wife. Much sympathy
is expressed for the bereaved family. Mr.. Arden
conducts the Staten Island dyeing establishment
in Baltimore and they have occupied cottage at
this place for some time.
Mr.. Frederick Kluth, of the firm of F. Kluth &
Sons, carriage and wagon builders, has been quite
i'll at his home for some time past.
The sleighing has been quite good and all
kinds of sleighs from the showiest cutter all the
way down to the home made sled. are seen on our
roads and the merry jingle of the bells makes
music on the wintry air. BEsEIE A.

Narrow Escape from a Destructive

Narrow Escape from a Destructive
Fire.-The store at Ashland, Northern Central
Railroad, is owned by the Ashland Company and
is rented by Mr.. Thomas Kurtz, who with his
family, lives in the building over the store. About
o'clock on Wednesday morning last, the family
was awakened by smoke in their apartments and
Mr.. Kurtz hurried down to learn the cause. Upon
opening the door to the store he found the room
densely filed with smoke, but at the risk of his
life he went in and found the floor on fire. With
out giving an alarm, and assisted by his family,
he soon put out the fire, when he found that the
floor under the stove had been burned through
and the stove had fallen into the cellar. The
dense smoke had suffocated favorite watch dog
that was kept in the store and the store cat was
also found to have met the same fate. The dam
age to the stock was mostly done by smoke and
amounted to about $780, while the damage to the
building will not exceed $40. Mr.. Kurtz was in
sured in the Continental, of New York, and re-
ported his loss to the agent, Mr.. II. L. Bowen,
Towsontown, at 10 O'Clock the same morning. An
adjuster was at once sent up and at o'clock
Thursday afternoon he received $221S7, the
amount agreed upon as covering the damage
The Royal, of Liverpool, in which the building
was insured, and which is also represented by Mr..
Bowen, ordered the damage to the building to be
at once repaired at the expense of that company.

No More Pay "On Account. For long
time it has been customary for some jurors to OBJ
tain certificates from the Clerk of the Court and
draw their per diem every few days, one man who
served as juror at term some time ago get
ting his certificate for $3.50 every day, and put
ting the Treasurer to the annoyance of paying
the same. This week Treasurer Hebb adopted
new rue-that is that no regular jurors certif-
cate will be honored until the end Of the term,
when they will be paid by check the same as other
claims against the county are paid. This does
not apply to those who may be summoned as tales
jurors, whose certificates will be honored when
they are presented. The habit practiced by some
jurors of getting certificates from the Clerk every
few days entailed great amount of unnecessary
labor upon the clerks in the Treasurer's Office, be-
sides unnecessarily complicating their accounts,
and for these reasons and others not necessary to
state. Treasurer Hebb wisely determined to put a
stop to the business.

The Old Town Bank and the Maryland
Central.-The Elkton Democrat of last week
says: "The attention of the Court has been oc-
cupied since Tuesday with the case of the Old
Town Bank VS.. ]. M. STREET. of Belair. The
Maryland Central Railroad Company. of which
Mr. STREET. was director, borrowed $4,000 from
the bank, the directors giving their individual
notes as security for the loan, on the condition
that the receipts of the road, which were to be
deposited in the bank, should be applied to the
repayment of the loan. 1t was claimed by Mr..
Street, that the funds of the railroad were deposit
ted in the bank but were not applied according
to the agreement, to pay the railroad company
note. Some of the directors paid their notes, but
others, including Mr.. Street,, refused, under the
circumstances, to pay, and hence the suit. Under
instructions from the Court, the jury rendered a
verdict for plaintiff for $577.75. An appeal will
be taken on exceptions noted"
